Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 420: Punishment of the Dark Angel
At this time, the Emperor of Mankind sat high on the throne, surrounded by tall Guards of the Imperial Guard standing guard. Almost all the other Primarchs attended this meeting.

Ultraman gave the Emperor and the Primarchs a detailed report of what happened before and after this mission.

"This is how it is. Great Emperor, please make the final decision."

Rhodes sat aside and listened with great interest to the troubles of the Dark Angels. Guilliman originally wanted to let him go.

But Rod eventually turned down the offer, saying that my son had just been born and I had to stay at home to raise him well. After all, educating a son is something that an old father has to do personally.

A whole year has passed since the cooperation with the elves. His son is one year old and has now grown into the size of an ordinary human child.

As a super life form, he has greater advantages than the Primarch, and now he can speak fluently.

Sometimes genius would make Rod lose some of the joy of being a father!

Sitting next to Rhodes at this time were Elena, Guilliman, Magnus, and Vulkan, and standing behind Elena was Rhodes' son Luo Tianfeng. The Emperor specially allowed this kid to sit in here.

Luo Tianfeng looked like a little adult, sitting next to his mother! Then he leaned his little head towards Rhodes and spoke quietly.

"Father! These dark angels are indeed very sick."

"Isn't it? In the future, have less contact with the people from the First Legion. There's something wrong with these guys." Rhodes said.

"Ahem! The First Legion of Rhodes is similar to an agent organization. They are not responsible for frontal assaults on the battlefield, so the new style is a bit dark, which is also very normal." Guilliman said on the side.

You can't educate your child Rod like this. Telling him what is right and what is wrong in advance will make him unable to judge right from wrong on his own!
His big brother's army would probably be overshadowed from now on, and his little nephew might even have a preconceived dislike for the Dark Angels in the future.

"And you, Xiao Tianfeng, you should learn to judge for yourself and not have preconceived ideas."

"I understand, Uncle Guilliman."

At this time, the emperor sitting on the golden throne also began to speak with the help of the emperor's incarnation.

"I know about the Dark Watchers! They are not life forms created by the undead after the destruction of the planet Caliban. They have lived on that planet a long time ago, even earlier than humans." said the Emperor.

He knew about the little things that happened on the Dark Angels' home planet. In this matter, both sides were both right and wrong.

If it were based on his previous personality, he would have waved his hand, issued an extermination order, and sent thousands of imperial guards to wipe out all the dark angels.

But ten thousand years later, he learned another way to deal with it. This matter should be handed over to the first Primarch, the Lion King Lion, and by the way, he could also use this matter to control his eldest son.

As the oldest and first Primarch, he was also nominally the eldest son of the Emperor himself.

Lion Jonson was extremely proud and considered himself the big brother of all the Primarchs and the elder brother of everyone.

The Emperor knew very well how much his son valued the position of Imperial War Marshal!

In the eyes of the eldest son, no one was more suitable to inherit the position than him. When Horus took the position of Warmaster, the eldest son was extremely excited, because in his opinion, the position of Warmaster should be held by him no matter what.

Although Lion Jonson is the big brother among all the Primarchs!
But the Emperor knew clearly that this position could not be given to him, not even to Guilliman.

Lion Johnson may be a good general, but he is definitely not a qualified marshal. You can let him attack a planet or a star region, but you can never let him command a huge expedition.

Ten thousand years ago, he gave this position to Horus, but Horus betrayed him. Now he gave this position to a new Primarch whom he had never seen before, who was not even his offspring.

The Emperor was 100% sure that his eldest son would definitely stand up and resist, even clash with Rhodes, and then compete for the position of Warmaster.

It is basically impossible to take the position of War Marshal peacefully.

And with Rhode's strength, his eldest son would definitely not be able to defeat him without any strengthening. If he was defeated, his eldest son's self-confidence would be hit even harder.

He was even unwilling to accept Rhodes' gift and obtain a cosmic fantasy beast to evolve into a super life form and truly awaken his divine soul.

This was a very difficult situation, so the emperor planned to make his eldest son feel guilty first after he woke up.

Look, you have been sleeping for ten thousand years, and I, your dad, have to wipe your butt. This is your fault, Leon, you must reflect on yourself!

"Yes, Emperor, I understand. So how do you plan to deal with those dark angels and fallen angels?" Ultraman asked.

"Well! Guilliman, you are the Regent of the Empire, and Rhodes is the Warmaster of the Empire. You two can express your opinions!" The Emperor looked at Rhodes and Guilliman and asked. "Father! I think the matter of the Dark Angels should be left to Leon to solve after he wakes up. After all, this is his legion." Guilliman said.

"I object! The Dark Angels have done many wrong things over the years. Although they have made great achievements in battle, loyalty to the Empire is the mission of the Astartes.

When they arrested the fallen angels and kept their legions secret, they betrayed the empire several times. If they were not punished, it would be hard to convince the people. "Rhode said.

We can't be wishy-washy about everything. There must be rewards and punishments. The Dark Angels did go too far in some things.

Bode had previously chosen to go to the Space Wolves' planet to act as a peacemaker, because the Space Wolves could still be saved, even though these space huskies were a little crazy.

But they still have to be sensible in doing anything. During the Month of Shame, they were the most courageous chapter. Not every chapter dared to confront the Inquisition head-on for a group of Astra Militarum comrades.

But a Dark Angel, you've been friends with a Dark Angel for 100 years, and in order to keep the secrets of his own chapter, this guy will pick up a gun and blow your head off without hesitation.

They might even try to kill you in order to seize some important item. This is what the Dark Angels have actually done!
"Rod, the First Legion should be dealt with by their Primarch." Guilliman said with a frown.

He knew that what Rhodes said was right, but sometimes he had to consider his eldest brother's feelings.

The emperor sitting on the golden throne nodded. He supported Rhodes' opinion.

If you want to be a suitable ruler, a qualified ruler, then you must be clear about rewards and punishments.

"Tell me what you think, Rod. How do you want to punish these dark angels?" asked the Emperor.

“All the Dark Angels have launched attacks on the Imperial Guards and my genetic offspring at the Stone Fortress, so I propose to repair these Dark Angels first.

After they recover, they are sent directly to the Death Watch for punitive service. Every Dark Angel must serve in the Death Watch for at least a hundred years.

Only after making sufficient contributions to the Empire can they apply to return to their parent regiment. Before that, they must tear off the legion's emblem and serve as Black Shields.

All Dark Angels are no exception, including their Chapter Masters." Rhodes said.

Although the Death Watch has now been upgraded to the legion level, it still adopts the original method of recruiting new members because it does not have its own Primarch.

It would be no problem to recruit talents from various legions to study abroad and absorb the Dark Angels members.

"Hmm! What about the fallen angels?"

"Every fallen angel must be judged to confirm whether they have really not defected to Chaos. This matter can be handled by Leon Johnson after he wakes up." Rhodes said.

Your genetic offspring have made mistakes. I will deal with those who made serious mistakes. As for those who you yourselves think have made mistakes, you will have to solve them yourselves.

"But Rod, if you do this, it will be equivalent to completely dismantling the entire Dark Angels Regiment!" Magnus said.

"Who said that? The Legion's establishment depends mainly on its own Primarch. As long as the Primarch is still in the Imperium and there are humans to recruit, the Dark Angels will still exist.

What's more, if these fallen angels are pardoned, they are still members of the Dark Angels.

As for the other Dark Angels, except for the inner circle members who will go to Death Watch to be punished, the other ordinary members can also return to the Dark Angels Legion." Rhode said.

“I think what Rod said makes sense. Let Lion Jonson handle the matter of the fallen angels himself, but all the dark angels.

Especially those who have made mistakes, all of them must serve as black shields in the Death Watch for 100 years." The emperor nodded and agreed with Rhodes's statement.

This is already a very light sentence. If the Inquisition were to make the final judgment, all these people would have to participate in the Expedition of Atonement!

This sentence not only saves the empire's face but also avoids making the punishment too severe!

Anyway, 100 years is not too long for the Primaris Super Space Marines!

"There is one more thing. The Dark Angels must reveal all their secrets. They don't have to be informed to ordinary mortals, but at least all legions must know about it." Rhodes said.

As far as ordinary humans are concerned, the reputation of the Dark Angels is completely ruined, so it is best to just spread it among the Astartes.

"Agreed! The Dark Angels said they have no secrets, so let them have no secrets." said the Emperor.
